Tel: 0208 203 5040 / 07502 989 403 1 NUTRITION BITES RAINBOW SANDWICHES FOR A HEALTHY GUT Did you know that our overall health and our immune response to infection depends on the diversity of bacteria in our gut? The more types of good bacteria we host, the better for our overall health. And the more different plants we eat, the more diverse our good gut bacteria. Whole grain sandwiches are a great way to increase the number of plant foods we eat every day and our cookery volunteer Kato shows us that they can carry a lot more than ham and cheese… 1. Basil delight: Spread basil pesto on two slices of sourdough bread or a whole grain bread roll. Fill with slices of tomato, feta cheese and fresh torn basil leaves. 2. Green sandwich: Mix a handful of rocket and basil with juice from half a lemon and 1 tbsp of olive oil. On any wholegrain bread, spread a layer of your favourite creamy cheese (blue cheese, goats cheese), cucumber and avocado slices, and top with the herb dressing. 3. Mexican sandwich: Fill a whole-wheat wrap, or corn tortilla, with a few thin slices of avocado, a spoonful of black beans, some sliced red onion and chopped tomato, and top with a spoonful of salsa. Melt a spoonful of grated strong cheddar cheese on top and roll up. 4. Toast with oily fish: Take two slices of toasted wholegrain bread, top with either mackerel or sardines in olive oil or tomato sauce. Top with sliced tomato and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or chili flakes. 5. Rye sandwich: Spread two slices of dark rye bread with cream cheese. Top with smoked salmon, thin cucumber slices, and fresh or dry dill to taste. 6. Full veggie wrap: Combine ½ a cup of finely sliced radishes, ½ a cup of apple cider (or any white) vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp salt. Leave in the fridge overnight. This relish can keep in the fridge for up to a week. Cover a sliced red and yellow pepper with 1 tsp of olive oil and grill on a high heat for 10 minutes (or roast for 20 minutes at 200⁰C). This mixture can keep in the fridge for 3 days. Fill a large whole-wheat wrap with slices of red onion, spinach leaves, avocado, and a teaspoon each of grated courgette, radish pickle, and roasted pepper mix. 7. Pita bread with hummus: Lightly toast a whole-wheat pita bread. Fill each half with a tsp of hummus, spinach or rocket leaves, finely sliced radish and cucumber, and if there is still space, half of a falafel. 8. Breakfast muffin: Sauté 3 tablespoons of chopped red onion for 5 minutes. Add half a sliced red pepper, season with dry oregano. Finally add a cup of spinach to wilt. Add two beaten eggs to the pan and allow the frittata to cook on a low heat until set. Sprinkle some feta cheese on top and finish off under the broiler for 2 minutes (keep the over door open with the pan handle outside). Toast a whole wheat pita, or two halves of a wholegrain bun, and fill with frittata slices. 2 THE BIG KNIT Grab your needles and your brightest yarn! Love knitting?

As well as picking up some technical skills, she loved how the group got to know and supported each other and shared their life stories. Here she tells us about what the group meant to her. ‘We’d learn about technology and enjoyed refreshments and a friendly chat with a group of people from different backgrounds, national ties and religions. All had interesting stories to tell about their lives or where they worked in their younger days. Two such gentlemen, both in their 90s, regaled us with stories – one of them had been a make-up artist to Hollywood stars, the other used to play the clarinet at Ronnie Scotts and still does lots of functions. One day he brought his clarinet to our group and gave us a rendition of ‘Stranger on the Shore’ and ‘Danny Boy’, especially for a lovely Irish lady. We were all quite emotional afterwards. ‘Within the group too was a wealth of knowledge and experience shared amongst us, and just by asking for advice or help we were able to get answers to most questions. Many firm and long-lasting friendships we formed to this day, extending beyond the group.’ *Jenny is looking forward to the return of Age UK Barnet’s groups and IT sessions which will return over the coming months as libraries and community centres begin to open up. 3 OVER TO YOU!

The exhibition has been programmed in partnership with DC Thomson to celebrate the 80th anniversary of The Broons and Oor Wullie. The invited artists, Rabiya Choudhry, Rob Churm, Craig Coulthard, Malcy Duff, Hideyuki Katsumata and Sofia Sita, have each visited the DC Thomson archives and are exhibiting their own individual takes on the rich cultural history of our city’s publishing. The exhibition features murals, prints, drawings, sculpture and video alongside archive material. ARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION RABIYA CHOUDHRY Edinburgh-based artist Rabiya Choudhry’s work takes inspiration from childhood memories and subconscious dreams. She has created new work for the exhibition loosely based on her own family and inspired by DC Thomson’s riotous comic strip The Numskulls, about a team of tiny human-like technicians who live inside people’s heads and run their bodies and minds. Choudhry’s own comic creation, The Coconuts, is the basis for a new pair of paintings in homage to The Numskulls. The paintings are titled dream baby dream and houses for the holy, in reference to songs by the bands Suicide and Led Zeppelin respectively.
